[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really seeing kids from Arlington and surrounding areas, DC or MD currently at DCU going out to Loudoun 4 times per week just to practice plus games.  This will hurt the diversity of players from many different areas available for DCU's player pool.[/quote]

My son's Bethesda DA team has had players from Annapolis and Stafford, VA. Especially in the older age groups, people are willing to travel some pretty incredible distances. There a number of kids currently on DC United who moved here from other parts of the country. If DC is finally able to offer a no-cost program (and can finally get some stability in its coaching staff from year to year), they won't have trouble attracting kids from all over. [/quote]

Bethesda is on another level though, their training is very good and it starts at their ulittle travel age groups and get's better.  I imagine their DA training is also able to build upon the training their players have already been receiving.  Not surprising to hear that soccer players from Stafford serious about being scouted are willing to request from their parents to find a way to be in the Bethesda DA program.[/quote]
